Sporting CP held a training session without the presence of three players, two days before hosting Galatasaray, in a Champions League match. The group training session did not feature Ibrahima Ba, João Simões and Nuno Santos, who remain absent.
The reasons for the three players' absences were not specified in the article. It is a compromised preparation for the team that will face Galatasaray in the next round of the European competition.
Striker Ibrahima Ba, midfielder João Simões and winger Nuno Santos are thus doubts for the match against the Turkish team. The absence of the three players could represent a handicap for the Sporting coach in defining the starting eleven.
The match between Sporting and Galatasaray is scheduled for two days from now, in Lisbon. The Portuguese team seeks to continue their trajectory in the Champions League group stage.
